ToughSonic CHEM 12 Level Sensor
ToughSonic CHEM 12 Level Sensor
Sku: SEN-TOUGHSONIC-CHEM12
Liquids or Solids in Chemically Aggressive Environments
Product Information
Chem series sensors and SenixVIEW software put the power of ultrasonics in your hands. You can quickly adjust, optimize, save, and clone your applications quickly without calibration!
The CHEM 12 is housed in a rugged, chemically inert PVDF sealed housing for long life. A new shorter design and smaller diameter transducer allows for easier installation in tight locations, and measurements closer to the top of a tank. The CHEM 12 also has an improved rugged strain relief design.
Applications include pump control, bulk inventory, batch processing, water management and high/low-level alarms.
